Upon hearing this.
Lu Xun felt his scalp go numb.
It was as if struck by a thunderbolt.
Without time to think.
He quickly appeared in the courtyard.
He saw the grim-faced Black and White Impermanence.
And behind them, those in the Heavenly Ghost Realm, and even the Ghost King Realm experts.
He immediately felt a powerful pressure.
He suppressed the fear and unease within him and said nervously, "Your Excellencies, our Lu family is loyal to King Yama. How can you say we plotted against him?"
Black Impermanence snorted, "King Yama took the Taiqing Divine Elixir refined by your Lu family. His soul was injured, and he lost a thousand years of cultivation."
"What?" Lu Xun screamed.
He couldn't believe that King Yama's soul was injured and he lost a thousand years of cultivation after taking that pill.
The Taiqing Divine Elixir was a miraculous spiritual medicine specifically for treating the soul.
Such a situation was impossible.
"Lu Xun, King Yama has ordered the extermination of the entire Lu family!" White Impermanence's voice was sharp and ear-piercing.
"Your Excellencies, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!" Lu Yuan stumbled out, his eyes filled with terror. "Someone deliberately wants to harm us. Please uphold justice for our Lu family!"
White Impermanence's gaze was cold. "King Yama's soul was injured after taking the pill refined by your Lu family, yet you say someone harmed you?"
"Do you take us for three-year-old children?"
Lu Yuan was covered in cold sweat. He endured his inner fear and said, "To tell you the truth, Your Excellencies, that Taiqing Divine Elixir was not refined by our Lu family."
Black Impermanence frowned directly. "The Taiqing Divine Elixir was not refined by your Lu family?"
Lu Yuan knelt on the ground with a thud. "Your Excellencies, please quell your anger, please quell your anger!"
"We also wanted to refine the Taiqing Divine Elixir for King Yama."
"But our ancestor was not very confident."
"Coincidentally, a fellow named Chen Nan refined the Taiqing Divine Elixir."
"So we took that pill."
Lu Xun also suddenly came to his senses.
He immediately knelt on the ground, his face full of helplessness. "Your Excellencies, it was not our Lu family's intention to harm King Yama."
"It was that brat named Chen Nan."
"He wanted to harm King Yama."
"You must kill him and let him know the consequences of offending King Yama!"
Lu Xun knelt on the ground, trembling.
He had naively thought.
That by snatching the Taiqing Divine Elixir refined by Chen Nan, he would earn great merit.
And that the Lu family would receive rewards from King Yama.
But he never dreamed.
That Chen Nan would dare to tamper with the pill.
He dared to poison King Yama.
This was simply audacious.
At the same time, he also realized how dirty and vicious Chen Nan's methods were.
He intended to use King Yama's power to destroy the Lu family.
His intentions were wicked!
His intentions were wicked!
"Oh?" Black Impermanence sneered. "Is that really the case?"
"Didn't you say earlier that this Taiqing Divine Elixir was refined by your Lu family?"
"Now that something has happened, why are you pushing all the blame onto Chen Nan?"
"And."
"There is one thing I am very curious about."
"If the Taiqing Divine Elixir had truly healed King Yama."
"If King Yama had bestowed rewards and favors, would you have returned them to Chen Nan?"
A few simple words.
Left Lu Xun speechless.
White Impermanence spoke, "Our mission is to exterminate your Lu family. As for your matters with Chen Nan, or Chen Bei, they have nothing to do with our mission here."
"Summon the guards, arrest all members of the Lu family, and exterminate the entire Lu family!"
"Yes!"
Those experts in the Heavenly Ghost Realm and Ghost King Realm vanished instantly.
"Are Your Excellencies really going to exterminate my Lu family?" A thin, white-haired old woman, leaning on a cane and supported by someone, walked out.
Seeing her.
Lu Yuan's eyes lit up.
This was the matriarch of the Lu family.
His great-grandmother.
Her name was Zheng Huan.
She was the sister of Imperial Tutor Zheng Yu.
Black Impermanence's expression was blank. "This is King Yama's order. We are merely acting under orders!"
Zheng Huan said, "King Yama suffered severe injuries and lost a thousand years of cultivation. Our Lu family also deeply regrets this."
"However."
"The culprit who caused all this is not the Lu family."
"We hope Your Excellencies will investigate the reason behind this."
"And seek justice for our Lu family."
"And also give King Yama an explanation."
Black Impermanence frowned slightly. "Are you teaching me how to do my job?"
Zheng Huan had a look of haughtiness. "This old woman just doesn't want to wrong a good person, nor does she want to let a villain go free."
"The sinner Chen Nan used King Yama as a knife to destroy my Lu family."
"As subordinates of King Yama, are you going to allow the true culprit to escape justice?"
White Impermanence's lips curved into a cold smile. "King Yama will naturally investigate Chen Nan's affairs."
"Even if Chen Nan deserves to die."
"But does that prevent the extermination of your Lu family?"
Zheng Huan was furious. "My brother is the Emperor's esteemed teacher, holding a position of great power."
"You know that our Lu family has been framed, yet you still want to exterminate my Lu family."
"Isn't this showing too little regard for my brother?"
"Are you not afraid of my brother's wrath?"
White Impermanence's eyes were full of disdain. "Imperial Tutor?"
"Heh!"
"Just a courtier."
"What is he?"
"Do you think King Yama respects him?"
"Do you think the Imperial Tutor dares to interfere in the Lu family's affairs?"
"If he dares to interfere, we will exterminate him as well!"
"Presumptuous!"
Zheng Huan was enraged. "You are arrogant and disrespectful to my brother. I will immediately send a message to him and have him punish you!"
In the eyes of ordinary people, Black and White Impermanence might be terrifying.
But Zheng Huan did not take them seriously.
After all, her brother was the esteemed teacher of the Great Emperor of Fengdu.
Holding a position of immense power.
In terms of status in the underworld.
How could the mere Ten Kings of Hell compare?
Without time to think.
She immediately took out a communication jade slip and said, "Brother, Black and White Impermanence are too overbearing. They know my Lu family has been framed, yet they want to exterminate my entire clan."
"And they don't show you any respect."
"You must help your little sister seek justice!"
Lu Xun, Lu Yuan, and the others also held their breath.
Because they knew.
The only one who could save the Lu family now was Imperial Tutor Zheng Yu.
Although they knew that Zheng Yu's status was not as high as the Ten Kings of Hell.
One thing was obvious.
If Zheng Yu was willing to plead with the Great Emperor of Fengdu on behalf of the Zheng family.
The Lu family could avoid the crisis of extermination.
Even though the Ten Kings of Hell held high status.
But in the underworld.
The Great Emperor of Fengdu was the absolute ruler.
However.
They did not receive a reply from Zheng Yu.
Zheng Huan became anxious and immediately said, "Brother, you are the esteemed Imperial Tutor, knowing the past and the future. You must know the predicament of my Lu family."
"Why are you silent?"
"Could it be that you are already on your way to the Lu family?"
A faint light emanated from the communication jade slip.
Then came the Imperial Tutor's sigh. "Little sister, I know you like the Shore Flower."
"Don't worry, after you die, I will plant vast fields of Shore Flowers at your grave!"
"It would not be in vain for our sibling relationship!"
